This song is not at all what I expected when I went looking for "Rekha + Dharmendra," but oh boy am I glad I found it! I hope they - and the camera crew - took their Dramamine.I'm tempted to put forward the theory that an actor in the late 60s, 70s, or early 80s isn't really a star until s/he has been filmed at that swimming pool.

The danger of following youtube links is that you stray from your original search because you notice things like a clip from the film Ghazab labeled "Dharmendra annoyed with Ranjit" with Dharmendra doing his word-chewing growly thing at the end. Or you decide to keep looking, hoping for something wackier, and find Rekha looking stunning and sunny - and holding a bunny - while Dharmendra sports fake teeth.

"Ae Hawa Ye Bata" from Ghazab (C. P. Dixit, 1982)Or perhaps you like your stars younger and more under the influence?

Your blog has become somewhat obsessive reading for me...and yes...I would brave a whole fock of zombie chickens to read it. So....you have the Zombie Chickens award from me. Check out my blog and collect it proudly ;-)

my other filmi projects

Bong Along - a blog on vintage Bengali movies co-written by Indie Quill and me (and perhaps a few very friendly appearances by other friends as well).

Masala Zindabad - the podcast by Indie Quill and me, often featuring other writers and fans as guests. Masala Zindabad is an affectionate and thoughtful look at the broad range of themes that define Bollywood and make Bollywood defy definition. Available at iTunes.

Mysterious Order of the Skeleton Suit - the Agents of M.O.S.S. are a shadowy confederation of like-minded writers, broadcasters, creators, and jetsetters who have banded together in a bold mission to bring international intrigue and pop entertainment to the masses. Can anyone stand in the way of their diabolical schemes?
